of General Manager of Electrolux (Thailand) Co.,Ltd on laundry business that the hotel size in Thailand,
especially in the city, they will be smaller or around 80, 50, or 30 rooms in boutique style by surrounding of
good atmosphere. This is the point of business opportunity for laundry business as well. Thawin
Juanrommanee said. It is representing that the laundry business is growing quietly, especially in small size
hotel industry because they consider laundry section is not necessary then cover, towel, and bed sheet will be
sent to outsource laundry shop instead.
However, before starting laundry business, we can ignore the point of competition especially foreign
competitor who the government offers a chance to them to be 100 percent laundry business owner without any
regulation and condition. Further more, most people consider laundry business as easy business because it use
less investment, easy to find a good location, less employee need, good income with fast payback period that
only 1-2 years, and it can be extra job for anyone. Even many advantages are considered but not enough, who
running this business without experience and good management is viewed as going to die soon operation
it means that everybody can start the business but will close soon or sloppily business and/or not professional
because only know the way to wash the cloth is not enough. They must down to the detail of the professional
way and must have enough experience to do confidentially.
First, the tool that most people use cant turn into a real professional for cleaning because it is hard work.
Only have money is not enough for this job, hire someone to do cant make this business survive. Real
interested person is proper for this business, they must give much time even not 24 hours but should have a
time to stay at the shop. At least, the laundry business owner must know well and can do it
Most of laundry shops in Thailand are not running in professional term except the big laundry industry that
deals with many branches and high standard hotel laundry section. In addition, the government doesnt
provide a real support to this business especially in term of human resource encouragement as same as they do
with other business such as tailor, hairdresser, or cook. In term of improvement, more development on laundry
business and expert is strongly required.
Opportunities
Because rushing of time then working people no time to do laundry by themselves, it is a good
opportunity to do the market for this target group.
The increasing of medium and small hotel, service place, salon, and spa shop is a good opportunity to
do the market.
Six months of raining and changing of seasons cause a good response to laundry business.
Threats
The volatility of the current economic conditions may result in people spending carefully and cut
some expense that might be included laundry cost.
There is a lot of competitor in this business because it is not difficult to do and it might be included
kind of personal laundry hiring.
Trend of wage is increase due to higher cost of living.
What is my laundry style?
Laundry business mostly is independent investment of one person. It no needs to do the research for
marketing, location, target group, and competition. The sharing will be hold with familiar people such as
relative, friend, and etc. As the same time, some people do laundry business as extra job.
Analyzing our interested is priority thing to do. Now a day, there are many types of laundry are running such
as monthly or piece service that shop owner can do it, franchise, or coin-operated laundry. Coin-operated
laundry is very famous business now a day because it has less complexity to operate and only little area is
used, well for community, condominium, and apartment. By detail, we will go deeply, how the good laundry
business should be?
machine. They provided machine size 6-7 kg separately, thats considered as correct system but in Thailand;
install machine at one place let any customers use. Its not Professional.
Thinking of doing coin operation laundry machine business, what should do is open a proper shop, whereby
operate another business in the same shop such as book store, coffee shop while waiting for washing.
Otherwise join with a dogs grooming shop or VDO rental shop probably. Because the customers should be
around while washing until program finished. Further more should provide table for folding cloths for
customers to bring them back. And its such an improvement of coin operation laundry machine business in
our region.
Nowadays the coin operation laundry machine business owner, they all have got capital back be cause they
operated non-standard way. Get the investment capital back rapidly and never thought of a better adaption.
Invested for 5 machines and gain profit within 8 months, broke machine; replace with new machine.
The interesting point is the good coin operation laundry machine should be machine with front door as
professional laundry service because the machine with the door on top of machine like we usually used,
normally when we washed too many cloths. The cloths are stacked on the washed dirt inside the machine.
And the result is the more you wash, the more dirty.
